Mon, 23:24
: Yes, beware all writers. If you write it, you must be committing that particular sin all the frickin time. And now I'm a unicorn.
Mon, 23:27
: Ah, I found R�my Couture's Twitter profile. Look like his trial starts Dec 2012.

: My little flat friend went by Fedex to visit the RIM repair shop for dust over the camera lens, under glass where dust should never collect.
Fri, 16:54
: I'm now I'm very lonely. I used that Playbook for everything. Reading, alarm clock, checking email...
Fri, 16:55
: And I shopped with my daughter and I'm very very very very very tired. So tired. Tired. I am really want-to-fall-on-my-face tired.
Fri, 16:55
: I am not a shopper.
Fri, 16:56
: Where did that second "I'm" come from in my post down there? My fingers are doing their own thing on this keyboard again.
Fri, 18:02
: Well, since I have no Playbook for a while, I can't check Twitter as easily. Family computer means family shares it. Bye until later. :-(

: Just popped in two new DDR2 into computer. Darned slots gave me a hard time. Took five minutes to encourage the second bar into the slot.
Thu, 12:08
: Computer is mildly faster. Still needs a Windows clean up. Will wait till end of month when next Ubuntu comes out. Dual boot.
Thu, 12:09
: Reinstall Windows for a complete clean up. Then install latest Ubuntu. Buy daughter Minecraft so she can stop playing on her brother's.

: @wl552 Even if the case is in the 1940's for example, itinerant victims would still be easy picks for murder in the 1800's for example.

Fri, 01:24
: Is screwing up. The cat's ass logo is showing up as the cover image. The epub version is coming out great. Not sure what to do to fix this.
Fri, 01:44
: Still no luck with the Smashwords meatgrinder. Plus the epub version has that nasty header shrink going on again. I bypassed it in Lulu.
Fri, 08:25
: Doing several revisions because of header styles on Smashwords, also because mobi version not giving proper cover.
Fri, 08:26
: I'm testing a version without the cat's ass logo now.
Fri, 08:31
: All right. No logo on end of this version of Beast in Beauty and I have no errors from the Smashwords meatgrinder. So be it.
Fri, 10:28
: And so, less than 24 hours after putting Beast in Beauty on Smashwords, I already have six or so earlier versions. Bleh.

Tue, 14:27
: Wait. It's a square dehydrator. Trays might not make good frisbees, plus there are holes in the trays.

Tue, 14:43
: But first, decide whether I want more clean-a-screens. What a stupid name. It's so commercial. Flexible screen is more respectable.

: April 10 is the last day I must leave Beast in Beauty on Kindle. Tomorrow, I'm unpublishing the little poo as a failed experiment.
Tue, 15:35
: @wl552 Not worth keeping it on the Kindle shelf. KDP Select hasn't been useful, not with this story.
